Once operating under the name iText, we are now integrated with Apryse. Our advanced technology and extensive suite of tools enable Apryse to tackle even the most intricate projects, allowing you to progress more swiftly and efficiently. Dedicated to delivering feature-rich products that continuously improve, Apryse provides exceptional document solutions suitable for various applications and enterprise workflows. With iText as a part of Apryse, our clientele encompasses a significant portion of the Fortune 500, alongside numerous government entities and small businesses. Originating from the open source realm, we maintain a strong belief in the importance of open source software. Our primary library, iText 7 Community, along with earlier iterations—iText 5 and iText 2—are all accessible under the AGPL license. For clients who prefer not to adhere to AGPL and wish to keep their source code confidential, we also provide commercial licensing options. You may have encountered iText when you received a boarding pass for a flight, obtained a PDF invoice or receipt, or completed a form that generated a PDF document, among many other uses.
